Development decision delayed The Administrative Corn- niitee of Council has delayed until at least 1980 a decision to develop the area around Rossland Road and Garden Street. The developer, Costain Limited, wants to develop 292 acres into a 1,074-unit subdivision which would. accommodate up to 8,000 people north of Rossland Road and east of Garden 'treet. .lhe committee decided that bcfore Costain Limited can procecd witb its'hold- ings, the town should con- duct a storm water manage- ment study of the area.. A spokesman for the deve- loper said it was tinreason- able for council to hold up the development of bis lands, which are part of Stud., Area Number 7 in the 01 cial Plan., because of draiîage study. Costain presented its fiî *t plan of subdivision to colin- cil's a dministrative commi- ttee on Sept. 25, 1978, and it has been under review by the town's planning staff since then. g Planning Director Bob Short said there was some menit in Costain's annoyance at the delay, but some cons- istent criteria across the municipality is needed,\ he Éaid. The town bas also reques- ted that there be a district Ffre lossq for the y( Last year was a gôo one for Whitby as fan as fine losses were concerned. Fire Chief Ed Crouch rep- orts that fire losses decrea- sed from 197't. and there were no deatbs or serious injuries as a result of fire. RITY plan for the main central area at the Garden Street- Rossland Road intersection before the Costain develop- ment can proceed. According to the planning deprtmntthe potential implications of the main cen- tral area go beyond the small tract of land offered by Costain. Building of the Costain subdivision could be delayed until 1981, said Mr. Short. down car Th~e lire Ioss for Wbitby in 1978 was $195,215, a reduc- tion of $47,015 from 1977 and $424,405 from 1976, said Chief Crouch in bis annual report. The statistics don't include vebicle fires or fines at the Wbitby Psycbiatrie Hospital. With these figures included, the fire loss in 1978 was $328,- 240.
